Jiyaa Shankar turns up the heat
Though Jiyaa originally made her silver screen debut in Telugu with Entha Andanga Unnave and followed it up with Hyderabad Love Story, her early films didn't make much of an impact at the box office. Over the past three years, she has taken a break from feature films, instead focusing on music videos and OTT projects that kept her in the limelight.
In her latest photoshoot, Jiyaa exudes effortless style and striking confidence. Dressed in vibrant pink bralettes and denim shorts, she makes a bold fashion statement. Her poised poses, soft glam makeup, and open hair add to the modern, edgy look — highlighting a strong, camera-friendly personality that reflects her comfort in her own skin.
While there are no new film announcements from her end just yet, Jiyaa's social media buzz and evolving fashion game suggest she's ready for a solid comeback. Fans are hopeful that the stylish actress will soon return to the big screen with a fresh and exciting project.

Box Office: Kingdom collects Rs 38 crore in 3 days in India; Vijay Deverakonda starrer struggles on Saturday
Kingdom hit the screens on July 31, 2025. Starring Vijay Deverakonda, the spy action drama has been running in theaters for the last three days in India. Helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri of Jersey fame, the new release has not been performing well at the box office. Here's what the opening weekend of Kingdom looked like. Kingdom finishes opening weekend, collects nearly Rs 38 crore Bankrolled under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, Kingdom hasn't been able to maintain a good hold at the Indian box office. The Vijay Deverakonda starrer earned Rs 18.25 crore on its opening day, i.e. Friday. Then, it struggled on Saturday with a net collection of Rs 9.5 crore. Now, on Sunday, the Telugu movie required a big growth; however, its business has stayed flat. It fetched Rs 9.75 crore on the third day of its theatrical release. The cumulative collection of Kingdom stood at Rs 37.5 crore net in India. What's next for Kingdom? Also featuring Satyadev and Bhagyashri Borse, Kingdom will continue to run on a dull note in India in the coming days. As per expectations, it won't likely have a good hold on Monday. Thus, Gowtam Tinnanuri's latest directorial will have huge losses. In the movie, Vijay Deverakonda plays the role of Constable Surya, aka Suri. Satyadev is cast as Suri's elder brother, Siva. Bhagyashri Borse is playing the role of Suri's love interest, Dr. Madhu. Meanwhile, Vijay Deverakonda was last seen as the main lead in The Family Star in 2024. He also made a cameo in the Prabhas starrer Kalki 2898 AD later the same year. Kingdom in theaters Kingdom is running in theaters near you.
